JACKOh great, another bill!

Bills are the only mail I get anymore.

What's this?

No address. No stamp.

Hmm...

Hmm?

A Christmas card?

At this time of year?

What the--?

"Hey, Jack. July is here."

July is here?

Okay, so what's with the card?

Tell him, Eddy.

It's to remind you that it's July.

I've got a calendar to tell me that!

And about a certain machine

you were going to buy the carnival this summer?

A machine that makes snow cones.

A snow cone machine?

ALLHurray! Hurray!

Whoa. Hold on.

I don't remember anything about a snow cone machine.

But... Jack?

Uh, yes, Elizabeth?

It was last year and it was after a show

and we asked if we could have a snow cone machine

and you said yes, but not until next summer.

Which is actually this summer, and we said when,

and you said next July, which is this July,

which is right now!

Oh yeah, the snow cone machine.

Did I say this summer?

Because I meant to say next summer.

Oh...

(Crying)

Oh dear.

Come on, Jack.

Hey, I'd like a snow cone machine

as much as the rest of you,

but we just can't afford one right now.

Aww...

Hey, what if we did an extra show this week?

Like, say... tomorrow!

Marvin! Tomorrow's our day off!

MARVINExactly!

If we all work on our day off, we can buy a snow cone machine

with the extra money we'll raise!

Marvin, you're a trooper!

Are the rest of you willing to do this?

Well, if it's the only way, alright.

Well, great!

I'll arrange the whole thing!

(Eddy sighing)

What's the matter, Eddy?

Are you going to help us out?

Yeah... I'll be here.

Come on, g*ng.

Let's go rehearse.

Wait'll the boss hears this!

Ow! Oh...

LYMAN SLIMEWhat?!

Fast Talkin' Jack's getting a snow cone machine?!

Where's he getting the money for a snow cone machine?

They're doing an extra show on their day off.

Why can't we do that?

Uh... 'cause you never give us a day off.

Never mind that now!

We've got to stop him.

You know how people go

for those snow cones on a hot day.

I'd sure like a snow cone right now.

(Itchy sneezing)

(Sneezing)

Don't spray your germs around here, McTweed!

Use a hanky or something!

Sorry, Lyman. I have a cold.

We've got to cancel Jack's show, but how?

(Sneezing)

Itchy, go spread your germs somewhere else!

And I know just the place.

I'm giving you the day off.

Huh?

Go over to Jack's carnival, and breathe on them!

Woah!

But I'm sick!


Exactly!

Don't come back till you've sneezed on everyone

in Jack's show.

That'll be the end of their extra show!

Eeewww!

Hey!

(Tapping)

Tada!

That ought to be a crowd pleaser!

MARVINWhat's the matter, Eddy?

I thought you were excited about the snow cone machine.

I am.

It's just that, well...

people are going to pay to see all of you!

What can I do?

Do what you always do-- help us!

How is that going to bring in any money?

We're a team, Eddy, all of us.

You may not be out in the spotlight,

but we can't do our show without you.

Really?

It's the truth!

Thanks, Marvin.

Hey, show me that atomic thing you do.

You mean the wild atom!

MARVINLook at that folks!

He's amazing! He's daring!

He's Eddy Hot-Hands Largo!

(Growling)

(Sneezing)

Huh?

(Sneezing)

Bless-- you?

(Tapping)

(Sneezing)

BOTHGesundheit.

EDDYWow, look at all the people!

I'd better make sure everyone's ready.

Hey, Stripes! Nap time's over.

It's showtime!

I'm not napping.

Uh oh-- stand back!

(Sneezing)

Oh, oh...

Come on! It's a sold out show!

Oh, leave me alone.

I'm achey all over-- even my stripes hurt!

But what about the show?

What about the snow cone machine?

I'm just too sick, Eddy.

I guess the show's going to be one act shorter.

(Sniffing)

Elizabeth, what are you crying about now?

Oh, I'm not crying!

(Sniffling)

I think I'm coming down with something.

Oh no!

Not you too!

I tried to juggle my pineapples, but I just couldn't.

Can't you juggle something easier?

Like apples, or grapes?

I need two hands to juggle,

and one of my hands is too busy holding my hanky.

(Sneezing)

Looks like it's up to Marvin and Diamonds now.

A fever-- I knew it. (Coughing)

EDDYMarvin?

Are you in there?

Come in, Eddy.

Stripes and Elizabeth can't do the show!

They're--

Why are you standing in hot water?

Oh...

Just cleaning my tap shoes, Eddy.

(Coughing)

Oh...

Woah, steady, Marvin.

You're sick too, aren't you?

Sick? Me?

Why, I'm as strong as a--

(Sneezing)

A horse.

A horse with a cold.

Sorry, Eddy.

I can't go on stage feeling like this.

Well, at least we've still got an elephant.

People always love to see an--

(Diamonds sneezing)

Better forget about the elephant.

But that's our last act.

I guess I better tell Jack to cancel the show...

Are you kidding, Eddy?

The show must go on!

(Sneezing)

It's up to you, now!

Me?

Do the show?

Me?! Oh no, Marvin.

I just help out behind the scenes.

We're a team, Eddy!


Remember?

You mean you want me to go out in front of everybody

and do all of your acts?

Sure, you can do it, Eddy!

You'll be great!

LYMAN SLIMEHey!

What's going on?!

People are buying tickets!

They're going inside.

Can we watch the show too, Boss?

I hear it's very good.

Woah!

No!

There's not supposed to be a show.

Are you sure you sneezed on everybody?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Horse; Tiger; Elephant; Pig.

I got them all!

Maybe they're putting on the show anyway!

What's the main act?

Marvin The Sneezing Horse?

(Booing)

He'll be fine.

CROWDGet off the stage!

Why didn't anyone tell me Eddy could juggle?

EDDYAhhh, oops!

(Booing)

Oh, that's why.

Hey, you stink!

Boo!

Give me a crying pig any day.

Oh, poor Eddy.

I can't look!

Ah, ah!

Oof!

(Booing)

Oh my...

CROWDGet off the stage!

Boo!

Hey, you stink!

There goes the snow cone machine.

At least Eddy gave it his best sh*t!

(Gasping)

Not yet, he hasn't.

I knew this was a bad idea.

And now, prepare to be

amazed and mystified

by Eddy Hot-Hands Largo

Atomic yo-yo?

Oh well, what have I got to lose?



(Cheering)

(Cheering)

Alright!

JACKLadies and gentlemen,

I present the Eddy Hot-Hands

Largo Snow Cone Machine!

(Cheering)

JACKHere you go, Eddy.

You get the first one.

Gee, thanks, Jack.

I think I'm going to cry.

STRIPESDry up, Elizabeth.

Give your handkerchief a rest!

Hmph!

MARVINSo, Hot-Hands,

your yo-yo act was a big hit!

What are you planning to do next?

Eat my snow cone.

(Laughing)

LYMAN SLIMESnow cones...

Once again, Jack has something that I don't.

But Boss, you've got something he doesn't have.

Woah!

What?

Us!

(Sneezing)



(Humming)

(Sad howling)

EDDYHi there, fella. Aw, cheer up.

Don't be so sad!

(Sadly howling)

Bet you can't catch me!

(Panting and barking)

(Laughing)

(Sad howling)

(Laughing)

(Barking)

Sorry, I can't play anymore.

I have to go to work.

You'd better get along home now.

(Sad whimpering)

Why don't you go home?

You're lost, aren't you?

Poor little guy.

Well don't worry. I'll help you find your home.

C'mon!

EDDYAhhh, he's after me!

Hey, Eddy. What you running from?


Hi, Marvin!

I'm being chased by a... by a...

A what?!

(Howling)

(Barking)

Ahhh!

A puppy!

You really scared him, boy!

He didn't scare me at all.

MARVINHe sure is a cute little fella.

Where'd you get him?

He's not really mine.

He's lost, and I've got to help him

get back home!

Hmmm...

I think I know who can help!

EDDYEdna, wait!

Hi boys!

Who's your new friend?

We were hoping you could tell us!

Can you look into your crystal ball

and tell us who he belongs to?

Sorry, I don't do dogs.

Besides, I'm just on my way to run some errands.

Which reminds me,

can you two look after my lemon ice stand

while I'm gone?

Sure!

No problem.

Eddy, I've got a feeling that puppy

is going to be lucky for you today.

Yeah, sure he will.

(Puppy yapping)

Thanks, Marvin.

Hiya, Lucky!

Lucky?

EDDYThat's the name I gave him, since Edna says

he's my lucky charm today.

So, how are we going to find his owners?

We could put up posters around the carnival!

And in town!

(Gasping)

(Groaning)

Now I'm going to have to clean this up

and start again.

MANExcuse me.

I'd like a lemon ice, please.

(Gasping)

On second thought, never mind.

Lucky!

(Laughing)

I think we'd better find a puppy sitter

before he puts us out of business!

DIAMONDSOhh!

Look at the cute, little puppy!

Awww!

We're going to have fun, aren't we, Lucky?

(Crying)

Would you like a nice, frosty lemon ice, Miss?

No thanks.

Could you tell me where the fortune teller is?

I have a very important question to ask her.

She's not here right now, but she'll be back later.

But I need to see her now.

Why not fill in for Edna?

Me? Telling fortunes?

Go on, it'll make her feel better.

Um, Miss?

I'm not really a fortune teller, but I have watched

Madame Edna tell fortunes lots of times.

Do you think you can help me?

I can try, Miss...?

Alice.

Pleased to meet you, Alice!

I'm Eddy, and this is Marvin,

The Tap-Dancing Horse!

A tap-dancing horse?!

Wow!

(Tapping)

Please to meet you!

DIAMONDSOh my!

Lucky, Lucky!

Bad puppy!

ELIZABETHUh, Diamonds?

Are these your frillies?

I'll take those, thank you.

(Giggling)

Ohhh, Diamonds!

There's a puppy in your laundry.

Why, so there is.

I'm looking after him for Eddy.

Oh, koochie, koochie, koo!

Aww! He is so cute!

Think you might like a turn puppy sitting?

Oh, thank you, Diamonds!

Thank you!

No problem, Elizabeth!

No problem at all!

So, how do I look?

The hat's a little big.


Go get her, tiger!

Wow!

That's a big hat!

Uh, thanks.

Now I've seen Madame Edna

do this a hundred times.

Your name is Alice.

I told you that, already.

Oh. Right.

What was that question you wanted to ask?

If you were a real fortune teller,

you'd know it already.

Of course.

One moment please.

What do I do now?

Oh, she's a tough one!

Hmmm.

Try the crystal ball!

Right!

A real crystal ball!

(Eddy clearing throat)

Oh, crystal ball...

Can you help Alice with...

Whatever it is Alice wants help with!

Now what?

Well, I just... look in it.

What do you see?

I see... I see...

Actually, I don't see anything.

(Crying)

Don't cry, Alice.

There's something you really, really want.

More than anything else, isn't there?

Well, I promise you'll get your biggest wish

before today is over.

ALICEReally?

Oh thank you.

That's just what I wanted to hear.

EDNAOkay, what's going on?

He was just cheering someone up.

Only I'm not sure

you should have made that promise.

EDNAPromise?

What did you promise her exactly?

Just that whatever it was she wanted, she would get.

Today...

EDNAEddy!

A person shouldn't make promises

unless they're sure they can keep them!

I was just trying to cheer her up.

Well she's going to be sadder than ever

if her wish doesn't come true.

Then I'm just going to have to find out

what she wants and make sure she gets it.

Alice, wait up!

EDDYAren't these fun?

They're okay, I guess.

But... probably not the thing you wanted most.

EDDYNo...

Because the thing you wanted the most was a...

I can't tell you what I wished for

because that would jinx it.

Right.

We'll just have to try everything until

we find out what she wants.

(Snoring)

ELIZABETHNo, Lucky. Give it back.

Lucky, let go!

Woah!

(Barking)

Oh! Ohhhh!

You chewed up all my pineapples,

my best shoes,

and now all my hankies!

And I need my hankies for...

for when I cry.

(Crying)

(Howling)

Oh, great gorillas!

Now what's the matter?

Stripes, you're awake?

Nope.

Could you look after Lucky for a little while,

so I can run to town and buy some more hankies?

Lucky is a dog. I am a cat.

Dogs and cats don't mix, Elizabeth.

Oh, he's not the same as a big old dog.

He's just a puppy!

And he's so cute!

Look at him!

(Panting)

Well, he is kind of cute... for a dog.

But I don't know if--

I'll be back soon. Bye!

Elizabeth!

(Panting)

So, do you want the business section,

or the sports?



Oh...


Are you done with the sports section, Lucky?

I guess that means yes.

Now, you stay right here while I get a garbage bag.

And we'll clean this up, okay?

(Barking)

Why did I ever make that promise?

I don't think you're going to find out

what she wants.

The day's not over yet!

Alice, are you hungry?

I guess a little.

Wait here.

I'll be right back.

Lucky?!

Lucky!

DIAMONDSWhat's going on?

Where's Lucky?

I lost him!

(Gasping)

Here, Lucky! Lucky!

STRIPESLucky!

Here boy!

(All calling)

EDDYHere you go, Alice!

I'm not that hungry.

Thank you very much, but I didn't wish for food.

Look, Alice.

I shouldn't have made that promise to you,

about getting what you wanted today.

It just looks like maybe it won't come true.

(Sniffing)

I'm really sorry.

(Howling)

Lucky?

Benny!

EDDYBenny?

Benny, oh, Benny!

I was afraid I'd never see you again!

He's your dog?

I lost him yesterday!

And what I wished for was to find him again.

Bye bye, Lucky-- I mean, Benny.

I'm glad you found your owner.

Thanks for everything!

We better go home now.

Bye, bye! Bye!

MARVINBye, Alice.

DIAMONDSEddy, Marvin!

The puppy's lost!

On the contrary, Stripes!

I believe the puppy, is now found!

DIAMONDSYou found his owner!

Owner?!

Oh, and they look so sweet together.

Good work, Eddy!

You kept your promise.

Yeah... but I'm sorry to see the little guy go.

(Crying)

What are you looking at?

It's just my allergies acting up.

I must be... allergic to dogs.

Come on, I think it's about dinner time!

Good thing too. I'm hungry.
